Deb Adams

Library Director

Deb Adams

I am:  energetic, strong, peaceful

What I do:  I am the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Teton County Library.  I oversee short and long-term planning, policy development, personnel, budget, and daily operations.  I love that I  am surrounded by people who are as passionate as I am about intellectual freedom, literacy, and lifelong learning!

My “career path”:  I started as a branch librarian 22 years ago and loved it so much that I decided I wanted to take my love of libraries and all that they stand for to another level and make a career in libraries.

My favorite things outside of work:  I love to hike, garden, backpack, scuba dive, cross-country ski, and, of course, read.

Tips for a successful girlfuture:

  I have reached a place in my life where I fully recognize the value of each aspect of my life.  I understand I need time spent in each area in order to be a full person.  I see that when I bring that well-rounded person to any endeavor, then I am fully present and giving my best.  Amazingly, being fully present to each event seems to take much less time than trying to do many things at once.
